Ankle sprain .... Said not to be "serious" ... whatever that means. I'm guessing he'll have a few days off this week and take treatments until Thursday. Start practicing on it by Thurs/Friday .... He'll be there next week.

From this morning's Trib-Review

Fullback Dan Krieder suffered an ankle injury in the second half that coach Bill Cowher described as "lateral" and "one that doesn't appear to be too bad."

I guess "lateral" is not the same as the dreaded "high" ankle sprain

ankle sprains can sometimes be worse than an ankle breaks. I sprained mine a few years ago, it took me like six months to be able to run again. Now I didn't have UPMC helping rehiblitate it but, a sprain is more susceptable to re-Injury, and usually has a long drawn out, and frustrating recovery time

If you all ask rally nice I will tell you how I sprained my ankle, it is a funny story...

Damn I wish,

I was walking to work down the driveway to the trolley stop behind my house, towards the bottom I lost my footing( I should mention now that it was freezing rain, and bitterly cold out.) So I fly through the air, and my attempt to get my right leg underneath me. I am successful at accomplishing this task, However Ice is slippery and my belly is large and unbalenced, so my leg went back my ass went down and I and all of my 215 pound frame came crashing down ontop of my leg and sprained my ankle. I heard popping, and felt a pain that I loudly and colorfully described to the rest of my sleeping neighborhood.

So there I am on my back with my right foot in the small of my back and ice all around me. I attempt to roll off my ankle and through out t the pain I realize I can not. So I pull myself over to cars that are behind my house at the bottom of my driveway, and I attempt to pull myself up. this takes about 20 minutes. I have now been down on the ground for about 25 minutes, My leg still pinned under me, and the freezing rain still pouring down from above. it takes me another 3-4 minutes to get my Cell phone from my right pocket, and I call my father who I knew was working in the area.( this was after about 10 attmpts to get a hold of my room mate who is sleep soundly and warmly in his bed about 20 feet above me, which didn't work). ten minutes later my father arrives and attempts to help me up. SO after he slips on the ice and fall on top of me we decide we should call an ambulance, which passed my house twice.

So when they finally get there, I have been down on the ice for 50 minutes. They decide to lift me and put me on the strecher. So they get on all sides and attempt to lift me up but as the all lift on three, I stay put. It seems if you lay in the same spot of ice for 30 minutes in freezing rain you will freeze to said ice. to wrap up this novel of a story, I get into the ambulance and they give Nitrous :thumbsup: and then I don't remember much after that...
